He was ruled out of the Eagles’ game against the Panthers due to bleeding, and the QB was hospitalized over the weekend for further tests. Imaging revealed the worst: the clots had traveled, several now in his lungs. It was important to change the course of treatment from “rest and management” to treating the clot quickly. The treatment plan is very basic: digestive system and monitoring, and is expected to have no lasting effect. However, there is a high risk of worsening of the condition if Harts participates in vigorous athletic activity.
A statement from Herts’ agent on Monday went on to further clarify the situation.
This new diagnosis is raising major questions about the Eagles’ actions in their Week 5 game in London. Ian Rapoport reports That Harts was at the hospital to watch over the night. before game against the Jaguars, and sleep was so dangerous due to blood clots that he was forced to stay up all night. This kept Hearts awake the night before the game, then suiting up and playing. Why the Eagles let it happen to their starting QB is a concern. First, it warrants a discussion on how he was allowed to fly to England. What happened to make it fly? come back To Philadelphia, knowing that he is fighting blood clots, adds another layer to this whole situation.
The decision-making process that led him to take the field less than 12 hours after he was hospitalized with life-threatening conditions is at the point where the NFL needs to investigate.
The football side of this is not very important, but the Eagles’ season was already in trouble, and this could be the nail in the coffin. Backup QB Tanner McKee was out of his depth against Carolina on Sunday, managing to get just 215 yards in the air on 47 attempts, despite playing in a patchwork Panthers secondary without both starting cornerbacks.
Sitting at 2-4, there’s still room to make the postseason in this year’s hapless NFC East, but dreams of making a significant Super Bowl run, or competing in the playoffs, are practically dead.
